Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (natural)

Lemon Juice

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, strained

Mocktail Mix

  • 1 splash apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chilled sparkling water

Garnishes and Extras

  • 1 handful gummy bears
  • Mint leaves (optional)
  • Ice cubes or natural gelling agent cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Syrup: Simmer fresh blueberries with simple syrup (natural) in a saucepan over low heat. Once the berries soften and release juices, mash gently to form a rich syrup. Strain out solids and let the syrup cool.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Squeeze fresh lemons to extract juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp for a smooth base.
  3. Mix the Mocktail: In a tall glass or pitcher, combine cooled blueberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Stir well to blend flavors, then top with chilled sparkling water for fizz.
  4. Add Gummy Bears and Garnish: Drop a handful of gummy bears into the drink for color and texture. Optionally, add fresh mint leaves for aroma and visual appeal.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with ice cubes or natural gelling agent cubes if desired. Enjoy the refreshing fruity and playful experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons and blueberries for best flavor; avoid bottled juices.
  • Chill glasses beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
  • Adjust the amount of simple syrup (natural) slowly to balance sweetness and citrus brightness.
  • Experiment with textures by adding natural gelling agent jelly cubes or frozen fruit.
  • Make the blueberry syrup ahead and refrigerate for quick preparation later.
